The zirconium fuel rods at Fukushima Reactor 4 fuel pool will not spontaneously explode on contact with air. For it is zirconium powder that is explosive, not zirconium solids or tubes.

When a fuel rod is made, enriched uranium is baked into inch-long pellets and inserted into metal tubes. In the belly of a reactor, the atoms of this fuel split apart, releasing tremendous amounts ...

During a nuclear reaction, fuel rods generate a tremendous amount of heat. After most of the fuel has been used, the rods are removed from the reactor and kept in a separate cooling pool nearby.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian scientists have produced the nation's first nuclear fuel rod, a feat of engineering the West has doubted Tehran capable of, the country's nuclear agency said Sunday.

TOKYO – Workers started the difficult task Monday of removing nuclear fuel rods from a heavily-damaged reactor building at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant in Japan. It's the first ...

But radioactive fuel rods still sit -- slowly cooling off -- in the reactor's cooling pond, which is 22 feet wide, 28 feet long, and up to 36 feet deep.

Eight years after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered Japan’s worst ever nuclear disaster, work has begun to remove spent fuel rods from a reactor that went into meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi ...
